I have worked throughout my career improving inefficient processes and presenting solutions in a well understood professional manner. As an industrial engineering graduate of Lehigh University and a masters degree graduate of Cornell University, I have been educated by some of the finest schools in the world how to look at problems and solve them. I have a data background in MS Access and SQL so applying that to BI has been easy to me. I am Tableau certified and also work within PowerBI to organize data, present where the data has been, and how to improve in the future. I have performed tasks like this at Citigroup, my family's company, and most recently at Flatiron Construction and Turner Construction. My largest financial success amy be helping Turn/Flatiron win the $2.25 billion project for reconstructing San Diego International Airport Terminal 1.
I am available to assist in schedule creation, graphics creation using data, Business Intelligence (BI) generation, financial forecasting
